Get Smart is by far one of my favorite television shows of all-time. The characters are put through a variety of humorous and intriguing situations, and I always marvel at how the scriptwriters are able to get Maxwell Smart through yet another dangerous situation alive! Don Adams was a smash hit in this show, as was Edward Platt. Add in the beautiful Barbara Feldon, and you've got a dynamic trio that truly creates something magical. The characters really got into their roles, and I often forget that I am watching actors and not real people. Yes, Maxwell Smart at times is convincing! And Larabee or Siegfried always make me laugh.
One of my favorite aspects of the show is also in the music. The culture of the 60s is reflected in many of the episodes, such as the well-known "Groovy Guru" or "Diplomat's Daughter" where vivacious girls are swinging their hips and "doing the pony" to groovy rock 'n' roll music in a late-night dance club. I can't help but feel my body move along to those groovy sounds as well. If those were the 60s, what a great time they were to grow up! This is truly a show for not just the 60s, but for the ages. Its innocent humor, wide variety of interesting plot lines, and phenomenal actors catapults it to being one of the greatest shows of all-time. I highly recommend Get Smart, and I wish that there were shows like it today.
